How to grow Peach Leaved Bellflower

It forms a basal rosette of narrow leaves and sends up multiple 3-foot stems. Bell shaped flowers are produced all along the stems ranging in colors of lavender, blue, purple, and white. If spent blooms are pinched off it will continue to flower through the summer. It’s an excellent flower for cutting and will last a week or longer in a bouquet. Peach-leaved bellflowers will grow in full sun and are equally happy in partial shade. Warmer zones may want to give them afternoon shade but dense shade may cause flopping and they will need staking. They aren’t fussy about soil conditions but appreciate extra water when weather is hot and dry.

Freeze seeds for three days before planting. Sow seed on surface and push down very slightly leaving uncovered, as seeds need light to germinate.
Can sow in fall for germination with spring rains.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.0 inches (0.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 0°C / 32°F.
